Shopping the world for gifts
Getting those last minute gifts can be a bit of a scramble if you’re travelling this holiday season. The days of only buying cigarettes, liquor and chocolate at the airport are a thing of the past with many airports now boasting the top retail stores you would find in your favourite mall.

Just a quick note of advice – if you have connecting flights, be sure to check the airport security regulations on your duty-free purchases of liquids.
 
·  London Heathrow Airport - Heathrow boasts 48,000 square meters of retail space over its five terminals and the prices range from pocket money up to premium. You’ll find perfumes, skin care products, alcohol and chocolates in all terminals, but, if you want designer gear, Terminal 3 is where you'll find brands such as Armani, Dior, Gucci and Cartier. Terminal 5, which opened with much fanfare in 2008, aims to showcase the best of British to departing passengers. Mulberry, Paul Smith, Links of London, and Smythson fly the flag for British design and craftsmanship. Search and compare cheap flights to London.

·  Dubai International Airport - Do buy. Dubai International has been the world’s leading (based on total sales) duty-free retailer for a couple of years now. Alcohol, perfumes and gold are the must-buys in the Sheikh Rashid Terminal (also known as the Concourse), home to the majority of the shops. Open 24/7, there’s 5,400 square meters of retail heaven. Search and compare cheap flights to Dubai.

·  Incheon International Airport - Korea's main international gateway in Seoul is the third-largest for duty-free shopping after Dubai and Heathrow. Its most popular items are perfumes, cosmetics, alcohol and cigarettes. A first for the Shilla Duty Free Shop is Louis Vuitton. The luxury brand picked it as the world's first LV airport shop. Search and compare cheap flights to Seoul.

·  OR Tambo International Airport - Voted best in Africa and winning plaudits for its airport shopping too, Johannesburg has more than 100 shops selling everything from trinkets to accessories to high-end luxury leather goods. It's not the cheapest airport in the world, but still boasts discounts of 40 per cent on prices downtown. Search and compare cheap flights to Johannesburg.

·   Vancouver International Airport  - Canada’s westernmost hub allows visitors to stock up on all things Canada – from books to jewellery to toys – at patriotic retailers like The Great Canadian Book Company, Thinking Canada and Postcards from Vancouver. Pick up souvenirs before departing The Great White North or shop at up-scale boutiques like Brooks Brothers and Hermes. Search and compare cheap flights to Vancouver.

Rounding out the list of Cheapflights’ favourite airports for super shopping are Amsterdam Airport Schiphol, Hong Kong International Airport, Miami International Airport, Frankfurt Airport, and Zurich Airport.
 
As a friendly reminder, travellers should double check the airport security regulations for duty-free purchases. The rules for carrying on duty free liquids and gels vary depending on the departure point and connecting airports. For more details, visit the Canadian Air Transport Security Authority website at www.catsa-acsta.gc.ca. If you are connecting through the U.S., visit www.tsa.gov for local rules.
